Well it looks like if companies and startups did their job in hiring the proper distributed systems skills more rather than hazing for the wrong skills we wouldn't be in this outage mess. Many companies on Vercel don't think to have a strategy to be resilient to these outages. I rarely see Google, Ably and others serious about distributed systems being down.
